Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

[HMF]

Can’t remember if this was posted here before but here’s a great photo of the Egyptian worker on the scaffolding. This is one figure that I’ve always felt was pointlessly removed considering the scaffolding itself still exists. If the figure still exists I’d like to see him return in the eventual next refurb.

I have a theory for why they removed him but it may just be a theory.

Another 1985 Perrin video has surfaced although the audio has a weird echo effect

And why is the aspect ratio like that.

And why is the aspect ratio like that.

Bad transfer or wrong export settings from physical media. Looks like it was done on a phone. The audio is doubled as well.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Yeah, that audio is distractingly bad.

I rode SSE earlier this month, and did briefly glimpse the old, black painted graduation caps plywood. It is not easy to see, but it's there still.

I took this pic 3 weeks ago. The ride slowed down to a near stop so I snapped a quick pic of the space station.

No wonder all that black junk comes out of my nose at Disney. Didn’t realize they never cleaned up dust in backstage areas like that (or is this hidden forestage?)

What you see in that photo is above your head as you’re descending backwards in the room with blue lights. I guess they think it’s okay not to clean it for years if the average guest doesn’t notice it.

Don't act shocked about the cleanliness. You can smell the mold on multiple attractions at Disney...
It's part of the Disney charm. If they know, we know, they will charge extra.

I’m glad the dust is there. Without it, we’d have a hard time seeing all that 1982 goodness up there without work lights or a really good flash.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Where do you think the Tower of Terror gets its dust for the lobby?

I rode spaceship earth a week ago. IdId t get a good look because my daughter likes to watch the screen thing and make jokes at the end, but the quick looks I have to my left and right, it looked like some or all of the dust was gone. Can anyone confirm this? Didn’t get a chance to ride it again and double check.

 

[Wdwsince86]

Also, maybe off topic, I hope it’s allowed, but is there a post like this for alien encounter or other popular/cult classic former attractions?

It’s possible you didn’t notice it because of the darkness. Also yes there are threads for most of the other rides, simply use the search function and they should pop up. If nothing shows up then feel free to make a thread based on what you’re looking for.
